2017年雅思考試口語專項模擬練習

導語：怎樣訓練口語，才能在雅思考試中脱穎而出呢?下面是YJBYS小編整理的2017年雅思考試口語專項模擬練習，歡迎參考!

重音的發音規則和方法

Ÿ 句子重音的功能：

a.體現句子的節奏感和韻律感;

b.突出重點,使聽者更容易理解。

Ÿ 一般方法：

a.在句子中需重讀的.詞為實詞，比如，名詞、動詞、形容詞、副詞、數詞、代詞等;

b.不重讀的多為虛詞,比如,冠詞、連詞、介詞、感歎詞等;

動詞及助動詞和not結合表否定時需重讀。

Ÿ 新信息原則

在答語或語段中，再次出現的不含有新信息的實義詞，通常不重讀;表示新信息的詞要重讀。

Eg. How many students are there in the classroom?——There are fifty students in the classroom.

Ÿ 強化性原則

為了強調某詞，無論是實詞還是虛詞，均須重讀。

Eg. What does he like best?——He likes to play basketball best, like her.

Listen to the end of the life expectancy audio recording again and underline the words in each sentence that carry the main stress. Two have been done for you.(學生自主練習)

‘Terrible isn't it? I know that about two thirds of Botswana is desert, but I also know it has a great natural resource, diamonds, so it's a relatively wealthy country and it only has a small population. I've also heard that it has a good system of government and there is no civil war or fighting. It even has free education and health care for all its citizens.’

‘Why do they die so young then?’ ‘Disease. The AIDS epidemic. It's the worst-affected country in the world!’

：Practise saying the following sentences stressing the words in bold. Remember the stressed words will be spoken slightly louder and longer than the others.(學生自主練習)

· There's a lot of poverty in Peru.

· It's a very poor country.

· They have quite a low standard of living.

· What about New Zealand?

· They've got plenty of clean, fresh air.

· I've also heard that it has a good system of government.

· The government takes a lot of taxes though.

· What are the people like?

· On the whole, they are quite well-educated.

· I've heard they're very friendly, too.

情態動詞：在英文中主要用來表示説話人的看法、態度。

Look at the script of the audio recording about the life expectancy chart. Underline the modal verbs.

‘Hey, have you seen this chart? Guess which country has the highest life expectancy in the world?’

‘I know the answer to that question: it's Japan. 82 years is how long the average Japanese can expect to live. … Why is that, do you think?’

‘I don't know for sure but their diet might have a lot to do with it. They eat lots of fish and vegetables.’

‘Oh. Do New Zealanders have a good diet too?’

‘As far as I know, they eat too much meat and cheese so it's not exactly a healthy diet… lots of protein but probably too much fat. Their quality of life would be good though. New Zealand's part of the developed world, but it's not really an industrialised country, so they've got plenty of clean, fresh air.’

‘That could be the reason for their longevity, I suppose … I thought it might be because they play a lot of sport and get lots of exercise. Look, I see life expectancy in China is pretty high.’

‘Yes. 72. I think that’s the highest it’s ever been… higher now than Peru where people only live to be 70 on average. I have heard that there is a lot of poverty in Peru, in both urban and rural areas. Many of the workers are paid very low wages so they may not be able to afford nutritious food or proper health care… and Russians are even worse off; they can only expect to live to 65!’

‘Too much vodka!’

‘I don't know about that… but alcoholism could be a factor. Seriously, I think they have quite a low standard of living you know, things like the quality of housing and the amount of food available. Even so, their life expectancy is nearly double that of Botswana.’

‘I don't think I've heard of Botswana before. Where's that?’

‘Africa. People in Botswana only live on average to the age of 34!’

‘That's awful!’

‘Terrible isn't? I know that about two thirds of Botswana is desert, but I also know it has a great natural resource, diamonds, so it's a relatively wealthy country and it only has a small population, less than 2 million. I've also heard that it has a good system of government and there is no civil war or fighting. It even has free education and health care for all its citizens.’

‘Why do they die so young then?’

‘Disease. The AIDS epidemic. It’s the worst-affected country in the world!’

So they may not be able to afford nutritious food or proper health care.

因此他們可能支付不起有營養的食物及合適的衞生保健。

從語氣上看，may / could / might 都表示推測語氣較不確定;尤其是might, could，其意很不肯定;might不表示過去時態，只是語氣上比may更委婉，表示的可能性更小。

a. I don't know for sure but their diet might have a lot to do with it.

我也不大確定他們的飲食和這個是否有關係。

b. I thought it might be because they play a lot of sport and get lots of exercise.

我想那有可能是因為他們體育鍛鍊比較多。

c. That could be the reason for their longevity, I suppose.

我猜，那個可能是他們壽命長的原因。

d. I don't know about that… but alcoholism could be a factor.

我也不知道，不過酗酒可能是原因之一。

Ÿ 表達否定的時候，may/might not和couldn’t意思截然相反。

a. They mightn't have had good health care. = perhaps they did, perhaps they didn’t (in other words, I'm not sure)

(我)不太確定他們能否得到很好的衞生保健。

b. They couldn't have had good health care. = it's not possible

他們不可能得到很好的衞生保健。

Ÿ would肯定性最小，通常表示人的主觀願望、假想等虛擬語氣，而不表示客觀存在的事實。

Their quality of life would be good enough.

我猜測他們的生活質量很好。
